When planning to use external APIs, keep in mind FrameworX Script Module, has also support for C#, VB.NET, Python and JavaScript, as well the ability to easily access Web Services and REST APIs, and external DLLs. Therefore in some cases, it's not necessary to create a new external component, just to leverage the built-in classes and tools available natively in the platform.
